WINDOWS 95
-------------

  * Multiple operating systems

  If you have two operating systems (for example, Windows 3.1 and 
  Windows 95) installed on your computer, during CD-QuickShare 
  installation the drivers in the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files 
  are updated for the operating system that is currently running. 
  
  To run CD-QuickShare under both operating systems, open the 
  CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT file for the operating system that is 
  not running, and make the changes described on pages 10 and 11 of 
  the CD-QuickShare Administrator's Guide. 


  * /L option interferes with CD-ROM drives in Windows 95
   
  After you install CD-QuickShare under Windows 95, remove the /L
  option from the MSCDEX line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file and restart
  your computer. Do not delete MSCDEX.EXE from your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

  The /L option with MSCDEX interferes with CD-QuickShare and physical
  CD-ROM drives in Windows 95, and may cause you to see only the 
  physical CD-ROM drive or CD-QuickShare drive. 

  
  * CD-QuickShare and Windows 95 AUTORUN function
 
  CD-QuickShare does not support AUTORUN under Windows 95. AUTORUN 
  allows CD-ROM publishers to place AUTORUN.INF on a CD-ROM and 
  automatically launch a specified program on the disc when it is 
  inserted in the CD-ROM drive.

  CD-QuickShare will not automatically launch programs on discs that 
  include AUTORUN.INF.


  * Mitsumi CD-ROM drivers in Windows 95

  CD-QuickShare is not compatible with the following Mitsumi CD-ROM 
  driver under Windows 95:

      MTMMINIP.MPD (version 1.46)

  You may have problems creating image files, or your computer may stop
  working. We recommend that you upgrade to a newer version of the 
  Mitsumi driver.


CD-ROM COMPATIBILITY
-------------------- 

  * CD-ROM XA and Kodak Photo CD-ROM formats

  CD-QuickShare may have problems recognizing CD-ROMs created with the 
  CD-ROM XA and Kodak Photo formats. For example, you may not be able 
  to create image files. If you successfully create image files, you may 
  not be able to access them. If you can create, access, and even run 
  specific applications, CD-QuickShare may stop working. 


NETWORKING
----------

  *  CD-QuickShare installation on a network drive 

  DO NOT install CD-QuickShare on a network drive. The program 
  CDSHARE.EXE allows CD-QuickShare to work properly. When you install 
  and run CD-QuickShare on a network drive, CDSHARE.EXE will not load.
  An error message will tell you that CD-QuickShare is not available. 


  * CD-QuickShare shared database on Novell file server and WFW 3.11

  You can install CD-QuickShare on a computer running Windows for 
  Workgroups 3.11 and connect the computer to a Novell file server. If
  you place the CD-QuickShare database on the file server then change 
  the drive letter where the database is located, you will not be able 
  to access the database. 

  To access the database, open your CDSHARE.INI file and change the 
  following option to point to the new drive letter: 

  [Database]
   dispdbpath=

      
  * MSCDEX line in AUTOEXEC.BAT conflicts with LANtastic Redirector

  If the MSCDEX line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file appears before the 
  LANtastic network drivers, an error message will inform you that you
  must use the LANtastic network Redirector. 

  To fix this problem, open your AUTOEXEC.BAT file and place the 
  MSCDEX.EXE line after the LANtastic network drivers.


  * Database path on LANtastic networks

  When you store the database on a LANstatic network, CD-QuickShare
  enters the actual drive letter to the database path in your 
  CDSHARE.INI file. If you send CD-QuickShare to your users and they
  don't have the correct drive mapping, they will not be able to access
  the database.

  Before you run QuickSetup, open your CDSHARE.INI file, and enter the 
  UNC path to the database in the dbpath= field. Then, run QuickSetup and 
  send CD-QuickShare to your users. For more information on UNC paths, 
  see your CD-QuickShare Administrator's Guide.
  

THE UNINSTALL PROGRAM
---------------------

  * The Uninstall program stops because a CD-ROM is in the drive 

  If you have a disc inserted in the CD-QuickShare drive while removing
  CD-QuickShare from your computer, the Uninstall program will prompt 
  you to eject the disc before you continue. 

  Run CD-QuickShare and eject the disc. If you can't eject the disc 
  because the database is unavailable, open the CDSHARE.INI file and 
  remove the following entries:
 
  [Driver]
  Map0=

  [User]
  CDROM=
  Inserted=
	

  * /D:CDSHARE$ switch not removed by the Uninstall program

  If the /D:CDSHARE$ switch on the MSCDEX line in AUTOEXEC.BAT is 
  added someplace other than the end of the line, the Uninstall program
  will not remove it.  To remove this switch, open your AUTOEXEC.BAT 
  file and remove the entry. 


  * Network error when removing CD-QuickShare from WFW 3.11

  If you get a network error while trying to remove CD-QuickShare from 
  a shared drive under Windows For Workgroups 3.11, ignore the error. 
  The Uninstall program will complete successfully.

  * CD-QuickShare and memory managers

  If you use a memory manager (such as QEMM.EXE) to optimize your 
  computer's memory, and have computer problems after you install
  CD-QuickShare (for example, network errors, drivers not working, 
  or you can't run Windows), we recommend you prevent CD-QuickShare 
  from using high (or upper) memory by adding /NOHMA or /NOUMB to the 
  CD-QuickShare line in your CONFIG.SYS file. The entry below shows how
  to disable both upper and high memory:

  DEVICE=C:\CDSHARE\CDSHARE.EXE /NOHMA /NOUMB
